I was out with my friend and some of her coworkers, and we were talking about arranged marriages, b/c one of the women with us is Indian, and has been happily married for 30 years. She says that, since arranged marriages happen less often and (or b/c) some Indian women are becoming more "advanced," I suppose, like American women are, the divorce rates in their culture are rising.

So, I agree with what you and your sociology teacher said. Unfortunately, I think we (women, and U.S. society, I guess) have made strides in some areas of our lives, but...then, other areas of our lives suffer...

Is it true, then, that you "can't have it all?" Or...can you have it all, but just not at the same time?
